The cardiovascular system is often involved in the stages of advanced syphilis with severe complications like myocardial infarction. Standard treatment should be given as soon as syphilis is diagnosis. For stenosis of coronary ostium, the PCI assisted by ECMO technology did not only ensure the effectiveness of the treatment, but also reduce the surgical risk of the patient. This case indicated the effectiveness of ECMO-assisted PCI, and thus may provide a reference for future patient treatment.
